<<<<It seems to me that for someone who "doesn't like Harry" that he seems to save him quite a bit. He may be hard on Potter time and time again, but I think he uses his bitterness as a way to save face. Like everyone else in the Potter World, Snape has a soft spot for Harry Potter---it's just deep, deep, deep inside. >>>> 

I'm not so sure if it's a "soft spot... deep, deep, deep inside" as you say, Mr. Wood. IMO, it's that Snape knows that Harry is the one who will bring down Voldemort once and for all. Everyone is protecting Potter, and I am presuming that this is because Harry is "The One". So it's not a matter of soft spots or life-debt as much as it is that Harry is everyone's (including Snape's) "Savior", in a sense. Snape does have to save him quite a bit....he just doesn't have to like it or be nice to Harry because of it.

(It would be kind of like Bin Laden having the cure for cancer.  We wouldn't like needing his help, but think of all the people it would save.  Oh...and THEN we would kill him.)
